Hello,

Code:

root@faiserver:~# dmidecode # dmidecode 3.4Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.SMBIOS 2.5 present.10 structures occupying 450 bytes.Table at 0x000E1000.Handle 0x0000, DMI type 0, 20 bytesBIOS Information    Vendor: innotek GmbH    Version: VirtualBox    Release Date: 12/01/2006
You appear to be running this command in a VirtualBox virtual environment, so dmidecode is getting its information from the virtual environment.

Also know that
DESCRIPTION
dmidecode is a tool for dumping a computer's DMI (some say SMBIOS) table contents in a human-readable format. This table contains a description of the system's hardware components, as well as
other useful pieces of information such as serial numbers and BIOS revision. Thanks to this table, you can retrieve this information without having to probe for the actual hardware. While this
is a good point in terms of report speed and safeness, this also makes the presented information possibly unreliable.

The DMI table doesn't only describe what the system is currently made of, it also can report the possible evolutions (such as the fastest supported CPU or the maximal amount of memory sup‐
ported).
